Amazon.Com Launches Third Annual Holiday Delight-O-Meter More Than 8 Million Items Already Ordered from Amazon.com Sites Worldwide This Holiday Season
SEATTLE--Nov. 12, 2002--Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN)
today launched its holiday Delight-O-Meter, which first appeared on
the site for the 2000 holiday season.
Viewable on the Amazon.com Welcome page (www.amazon.com), the
Delight-O-Meter tracks the approximate number of items ordered from
Amazon.com domains worldwide. It debuted today with more than 8
million items ordered since November 1, 2002.
Amazon.com is preparing for its busiest holiday season ever, as
value-conscious consumers seek to save time and money in the shortest
holiday season in recent years. The holiday shopping season,
traditionally defined as the days between Thanksgiving and Christmas,
lasts only 26 days in 2002, compared to 32 days in 2001. Customers
will also find the lowest prices ever at Amazon.com this holiday
season, including 30 percent off books over $15; significantly lowered
prices on electronics, tools and bestselling CDs and DVDs; and Free
Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25.
NOTE:
The Delight-O-Meter should not be viewed or used as a
predictor or indicator of revenue or other financial information
relating to Amazon.com. The Delight-O-Meter is updated continually,
but lags actual items ordered depending on the item.
